When you awake

Tomorrow,the sun will riseand the night will be gone.Tomorrow,when you wake,there will be a new day,emptied of the past,filled with promise.Yesterday will be but a memory,the future, hope and trustbut,tomorrow,tomorrow is the new day,listen for it's promises,for hope rises in the dawnand not from the dusk.

Sometimes

Sometimes,Do you get the feelingThat the sky is smilingAnd the clouds are singing?Sometimes,The ocean just seems to laughAs it plays on the sandAnd the wind Dances through the trees.Sometimes,The simplicity of all that is around usCatches us unawares,And we stop....Listen,And reflect.How perfect is the unnoticed realityAround us.The next time I'm stuck in traffic,I'm going to look up,Smile backAnd sayThank you!

Purposed and planned

On a cloudless nightHovering over our humanity,Is a canopy,An enduring reminderThat we are part of an immense plan,A purpose and designThat cannot be fathomedOr understood. We stand,Gazing into eternity,Knowing one thing,We belong,We are partners.We shareIn this perfection,loved,Secured,Graced beyond measure.Every star,Sun,planetAnd constellation,In its immensityAnd magnificence,

Passionately!!

What is the song of your heart,sweet melodygentle words?Who is the tunesmiththat moves you beyond your everydaycausing you to gasp in wonderand awe?What moves you to tears,Or brings a smile to your faceand laughter to your heart.When you find yourself dancing alone,in the sheer joy of being loved,who is beating the drum?The child in us longs for the simplicityof love,the innocence,the trust,the naive joy,and security,of being loved...Not because of what we do,it's so much more than that...the exquisite realityof being lovedextravagantlybecause of who we are,and "Whose" we are.It's time to sing,to laughand to dance...passionately.

About Me

I have lived the most amazing life. Through many adventures, some good, some not, some songs, a book or two, some highlights that I would like to remember and some that I have chosen to forget. I have learnt much, some by bitter experience, but, through all this, I have found a hope and peace that continually surprises me. My new songs, poems and writings attempt to reflect this journey.
